Stanbroil Ceramic Fire Balls - 4” Round Fire Stones for Fire Pit Fire Bowl and Fireplace - Set of 12, Gray

Very cool. Great texture and love the look. So happy I switched out old log look.

They are too light and hard to work. Is it possible to return them without the box?

Definitely more unique than standard lava rock. I debated on what size to get, since my fire pit is only 24". I ended up with the gray 4" balls, thinking I would get the best coverage, but I think all 3 sizes could look great in different scenarios. I think a combination of sizes could look great, too! I don't know how practical these really are from a cost standpoint. The 3 sizes are sold in different quantities at different prices, but none of them are what I would call cheap. If you're already going all out with a backyard oasis though, dropping a few more bucks on a box or two of these could really put it over the top. Very classy looking for sure, and they really should last a good long time as well. Now I just have to dig some of the regular lava rock out from under these, so I can put the lid on my fire pit!

These look like a dark grey pumice or lava stone. They are extremely lightweight which surprised me. Simple to use and they stack well without too much rolling as long as they are held in place underneath by the gas tubing. There was no dust or debris in the box. No weird smells. It is TBD how durable these are over time with fluctuations in heat for fire and then rain and cold, damp air. I won’t know until after the winter season and use in the fire pit during these months occurs. If they break…I will update my review. Here is hoping they last!

I ordered this for our fire pit that we recently had a line for natural gas installed to on our rear covered porch. These fill the fire area fairly well, although I think I may also add some fire glass as well for completely cover the fire area. These are a nice addition to the fire pit as we get it ready for cooler fall weather.
